This is a delicious way to use up those luscious ripe tomatoes. Make sure to have some delicious sourdough bread to mop up the juices...
I have made this so many times, and I love the way it brings out the flavour and sweetness of the tomatoes, which is perfectly offset by the tartness of the feta and the dressing. Yum.
